On Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at Le Village by CA Milano, the first standard model for an ESOP (Employee Stock Option Plan) regulation was officially presented, promoted by Italian Tech Alliance with the support of Growth Capital.
The project stems from a working group that brought together industry experts, including the Venture Capital team from our firm, which was directly involved in drafting the model.
This initiative represents a key resource for all startups and innovative SMEs, supporting their efforts to attract and retain talent through equity incentive plans.
Available for free download on the official Italian Tech Alliance website (link), the model aims to simplify the adoption of ESOPs, promote the spread of market best practices, and reduce the time and complexity of negotiations.
A heartfelt thank you to Italian Tech Alliance, Growth Capital, and all the professionals who contributed to this important milestone for the entire Italian innovation ecosystem.
